is there any kind of limit on what kind of reader we can ask about? like limits on gender you will write about or if you lean more towards sub or dom reader? what about characters? are there any other characters you will or won't cover? is there any limit on how many characters we can ask about at a time for hcs and fics? will asking for more give us less hcs?
hello this is an excellent ask, thank you so much for asking anon. i’m gonna separate each question you ask out so i can give clear answers to each one! if you have any more questions feel free to ask them.
1. type of reader
i will write for any gender identity or pronouns that i am asked for by someone (including neopronouns), you can find more info about how this will work on my rules page
i typically lean to more of a sub reader, but if i will defiantly write a dom/switch reader if asked to write like that
i will write about a reader having mental health issues if requested, but if an ask triggers me i will not write it and the fic will be tagged with the correct trigger warnings
if you wish to specify certain qualities about the reader (eg: trans, tall/short, plus sized, suffering from an illness, missing a limb), i will use them in your request
the only limit is that for an nsfw/romantic ask, i will not write a child/minor/sibling/mink reader
2. characters
i will not write a nsfw fic for any character that is a minor after the timeskip (eg shirahoshi)
i will not write for animals/minks (eg pedro or chopper) unless it is purely platonic
i will write for most of the fishmen (eg prince fukaboshi or arlong)
i will write for the warlords (except moria), strawhats (except chopper), the marines and supernovas (except bege)
characters you'd have to send a very good ask in for me to write them: the blackbeard pirates, big mom, kaido, king neptune, brook and jinbei
if you are not sure about if i will write your favourite character, feel free to send in a dm/ask and i can specific it for you
i will write character x character fics if requested but please note that these are not my preferred type of fics to write
i will write for most au!s of these characters as well (including: modern, yandere, fantasy)
3. requests
there is no limit on how many characters you can ask about for a headcanon/fic
the number of characters you ask for will not effect the length of the individual headcanons
the average headcanon will be decently long (around 10+ lines at least), but i may get more/less into an ask than a different one
if you wish to add a character after you have sent the request in/it has been posted, please send a follow up ask/dm and i will add it to the headcanon
i will write a polyamorous fic/headcanon (please specify in your request so i don't accidentally seperate characters)
if i misunderstand your request, please dm or send a new ask in and i will rewrite it for you -> please be as clear as possible in your request to avoid this as much as possible
if i reject your request, i will answer it privately and i ask that you accept this rejection/not harass me for it
however, please note that the more characters are asked for in a headcanon, the longer it will take me to complete
Everybody’s here for a good time, so let’s try and keep it that way. We understand that rules can be tedious, but the ones we have in place are there to make sure everyone’s happy and the network can run smoothly.
GENERAL
Be kind. Don’t send hate or bully anyone. We have to deal with that stuff often enough in real life, so don’t bring it here too. If you do, we’ll have to remove you from the network.
Similarly, don’t discriminate against anyone for any reason, including, but not limited to, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, body type, blog size, etc. Anyone in violation of this rule will be removed from the network immediately.
All accepted members must have a link somewhere on their blog. We will give you one reminder before removing you from the network.
Let us know if you’re going on hiatus, so we can add you to your list. Blogs that are inactive for longer than two months without a hiatus warning, will be removed. Blogs on the hiatus list for longer than a year will have to reapply.
On a similar note, let us know if you’re changing URLs so we can keep up to date on where you’re at.
Seeing as we are a fic archive, we will only reblog fics (the specifics of which fics we reblog can be found in the WRITERS’ section). Similarly, we only archive/reblog BTS related content.
We believe in second chances so if you are removed from the network, you will be allowed to reapply again in two months. However, if you violate the rules a second time, you will be blacklisted from the network.
WRITERS
We only reblog new fics a) posted by affiliated writers and b) tagged with the official network tag #thebtsficarchive.
This includes member x reader, member x oc, and member x member fics.
Any fics that include the following will not be archived or reblogged by the network (you can write it, but we won’t touch it):
A) Works that contain sexual depictions of minors, pedophilia, incest, bestiality, rape, or vore. Additionally, works that display graphic descriptions/romanticize abuse, mental health issues, violence, or suicide will not be reblogged.
B) Any work that is found to be plagiarized. If you are found plagiarizing writing, you will be immediately removed from the network.
We will reblog one-shots, series, drabbles, and imagines, as well as, masterlists for series and teasers. We will not reblog sm!au’s, bullet point fics, masterlists of all your work or reactions.
Seeing as our goal is to archive all the fics on Tumblr, we only reblog/archive fics posted on Tumblr. Fics only posted on Wattpad, AO3, or any other website will not be reblogged.
All warnings must be stated at the beginning of the fic. Negligence to properly tag fics will result in a warning before you are removed from the network. If there are no warnings, simply write N/A. Fics without warnings will not be reblogged.
We also ask that you state the pairing and rating at the beginning of the fic. Fics that lack them will not be reblogged.
We ask that all writers have at least two (2) pieces of BTS related work over 500 words long before being accepted to the network.
If your fic is over 500 words, please put a read more cut. Nothing sucks more than having to scroll through a 10k fic on your dash. If you don’t, we won’t reblog your work. On the same note, please put all NSFW content below the cut.
Writers under the age of 18 who write NSFW content will not be allowed to join the network. Once you turn 18, feel free to sign up. Accepted minors who are found to be writing NSFW content will be removed. If we discover that you are lying about your age, we will remove and you will be allowed to reapply again when you are 18.
READERS
Readers can send in fics/authors we haven’t archived through asks. The same goes for fic feedback. If your feedback is longer than the ask character limit (500), you can submit a post. Any feedback we receive will be copy and pasted to a reblog of the fic along with who sent in the feedback.
All fic suggestions/fic feedback must contain the name of the fic and the author.
The archive will only post positive fic feedback. Any feedback that is negative or can be construed as hate will result in the reader being removed from the network.
If you aren’t 18+ don’t send in NSFW fics for us to archive or comment on NSFW fics. If you do, we will have to remove you from the network. You will be able to reapply when you are of age.
Readers are required to comment on a work at least once a month. If it feels like too much of a burden at any point, let us know and we will place you on the hiatus list. However, after two months on the list, you will have to reapply.
In order to keep track of who has sent in feedback each month, we require all asks concerning feedback to be off-anon.
CHAT
Be kind.
Be aware of people’s triggers. If someone says the safeword, "seagull”, please respect it and move to a different SFW topic. If possible, delete all offending posts. Failure to obey will result in your removal from the network.
The following topics are considered triggers and are not allowed:
Rape/non-con
Abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, mental, or otherwise)
Graphic violence
Suicide/self-harm
Comments about body size and lifestyle choices (ie. how much someone eats).
Here at the BTS Fic Archive, we follow the rule “Don’t yuck my yum”. Simply put, don’t criticize something someone else enjoys. We understand that everyone is entitled to an opinion, but there is a time and place for everything, and intense criticism can be harmful to some people. Given the nature of this net, BTS automatically falls under this rule.
There will be a NSFW and SFW chat. Members under the age of 18 will automatically be placed in the SFW chat. Everyone else will get to choose which chats they want to be a part of.
The password for readers and writers is rainbowbangtan. Thanks for taking the time to read the rules. We really appreciate it.
Please don’t post NSFW content in SFW chat. If you are unsure if something is NSFW or not, send an admin or mod a direct message. If you post something NSFW in the SFW chat, you will be given a warning and asked to delete the offending post(s). Failure to do so will result in your removal from the chat.
We kindly ask you not to role play in the network. If you wish to do so, please move to your DMs. Similarly, any personal conversations between two members should also move to the DMs.
Other than that, have fun and make friends. You talk about whatever you want as long as you’re kind about it.
ADMINS and MODS
Admins and mods are required to have a blog that is 60% BTS related and have at least two (2) BTS fics posted.
The role of admin can be time-consuming and requires creative input, so we ask that all interested parties be willing to dedicate an hour or so each day to the network.
There is no previous admin experience required.
Admins are expected to help with the following:
A) Liking and queuing posts
B) Moderating chats
C) Archiving fics
D) Accepting new members
E) Providing creative input for various network events
F) Any other work that is required in order to keep the network running
The role of mod is less time consuming, but we ask that you still dedicate an hour or so to the network a week.
There is no previous mod experience required.
Mods are expected to help with the following:
A) Moderating chats.
B) Liking and queuing posts.
C) Accepting new members.
D) Archiving fics.
Seeing as we deal with NSFW content, both Admins and Mods must be 18+.
There will be a separate chat for admins and mods to discuss anything related to the network. It is required that all admins be a part of it and participate weekly.
Admins and mods are expected not only to follow the rules stated above but be leaders in how to be kind. If you feel like that isn’t something you can do, we kindly ask that you don’t apply.
If at any point being admin/mod becomes too much for you for any reason, please let us know. We would rather you take care of yourself than have a participant who is only half there.
The admin and mod password is “ROYGBIV”. Thanks for reading the rules!
There are limited admin and mod spots, so not everyone will be accepted. We ask that you respect our decision and understand we picked who we thought was best for the network.
If I'm half way through the book and I can't for the life of me remember who this random character that keeps popping up is, they aren't crucial to the story. If I'm meant to care about you, then take it up with your creator the author.
If it's a physical copy and I'm having a tough time gathering enough interest to start the book it's OK to open a random page and read a few pages. If it interests you you now gained the motivation to learn the " backstory ".
